Why Choosing a CPO-Certified Pool Professional Matters on the Mississippi Gulf Coast

When it comes to pool service, not all operators are created equal.

One of the biggest differences between Precision Pool & Patio and many pool service companies across Mississippi is simple — I’m a Certified Pool Operator (CPO). And surprisingly, most pool operators in Mississippi are not.

What Is a CPO Certification — and Why Should You Care?

A Certified Pool Operator (CPO) certification is the industry’s gold standard for pool care education. It’s not a YouTube video or “learn as you go” experience. It’s formal training that covers:

• Proper water chemistry and balance

• Sanitization and safety standards

• Equipment operation and troubleshooting

• Preventing algae, bacteria, and corrosion

• Protecting pool surfaces, liners, and heaters

• Health department and industry best practices

In short: it teaches how pools actually work, not just how to skim leaves and add chlorine.

The Reality: Most Pool Operators in Mississippi Aren’t Certified

Across Mississippi, many pool services are started with good intentions — but without formal training. A truck, a pole, and some chemicals don’t equal expertise.

That means:

• Guesswork instead of calculations

• Over-chlorination or under-sanitization

• Shortened equipment life

• Stains, scale, and recurring algae problems

• Higher long-term costs for homeowners

A pool might look clean — until something goes wrong.

Why I Chose to Get Certified

I didn’t get my CPO to hang a badge on the wall.

I got it because I believe homeowners deserve:

• Consistency, not experiments

• Precision, not shortcuts

• Prevention, not expensive surprises

Pools on the Mississippi Gulf Coast face unique challenges — heat, humidity, heavy rain, salt air, and high bather loads. Managing that properly requires knowledge, not just effort.

How CPO Certification Benefits You as a Customer

When you choose Precision Pool & Patio, you’re choosing:

✅ Proper chemical balance — not “close enough”

✅ Fewer breakdowns and longer equipment life

✅ Safer water for your family

✅ Fewer algae blooms and surface issues

✅ A professional who understands why problems happen, not just how to react to them

That’s why my service follows a clear process:

Balance. Clean. Repair. Protect.

Precision care for your pool, patio, and peace of mind.

Another Reason to Choose Precision Pool & Patio

Anyone can clean a pool for a while.

Very few can do it correctly, consistently, and professionally.

Being CPO-certified is just one of the ways Precision Pool & Patio sets a higher standard — and one more reason homeowners across the Mississippi Gulf Coast trust us with one of their biggest investments.

Precise service made easy.
